CALL ME MADAM - 1982
During the presidency of Harry Truman Sally Adams becomes Ambassador to the small European nation of Lichtenburg. She proceeds to charm the local leaders even though she lacks basic policy knowledge. Meanwhile her secretary Kenneth Gibson falls in love Princess Maria. In the end Sally and Kenneth are forced to leave Lichtengburg but they leave behind the spirit of democracy. The musical was inspired by the 1949 appointment of Washington hostess Perle Mesta as Ambassador to Luxembourg.
